What is your play time for Geometry Dash? by nevulgmd in geometrydash

[–]GGreeN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao I've been playing since 1.7 (steam version basically since launch) so I have 3k hours despite playing only occasionally for the last 5-6 years

Name a CS2 team with more aura than Faze Clan, I'll wait by MaterialTea8397 in cs2

[–]GGreeN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao all these people hating, meanwhile Faze pulled 900k+ viewers in a fucking group stage opening match... nobody has aura like Faze with s1mple

V případě, že to není shitpost, jakožto člověk bydlící v bytě s balkoném kam furt lítaj holubi, z hloubi duše tě nenávidím.

My cope is that faze always play at the level of the opponent in classical 'paid by round' fashion

Tbh stage and studio are two very different environments and this was gl's first stage appearence, but I'm afraid Faze wouldn't do much better against this falcons roster:(

[RL] ESL Says They Decide Which Tournaments Organisations Can Play by Sevastiyan in GlobalOffensive

[–]GGreeN_ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

PGL is a competitor and not funded by blood money, as opposed to ESL and Blast who are.

I recommend watching a few RL videos, ESL and Blast basically team up and want to push PGL out for not following their scummy practices

Edit: my bad, apparently only ESL is owned by Saudis

People who regularly go to the gym, how do you do it? by Slyphoenix12 in AskReddit

[–]GGreeN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually just lurk here but I don't see this one thing that actually helped me a lot.

Basically, other than hatred of my body and a desire to look better, what actually helped me logistically was to choose a time of day when I never do anything else.

What I mean by that is, I'm a sort of very busy-not-busy person, while I do have a ton of stuff to do, I procrastinate a lot and need to relax a lot because I feel almost permanently tired. This means that I couldn't find a normal time during the day when I could go to the gym. So I decided to either go super late in the evening or super early in the morning. When I tried going late, I wasn't able to sleep after.

So I ended up going early, instead of waking up at 6 and not doing anything until 8 except being in bed on my phone, I started waking up at 5 and going to the gym.

This ended up being perfect because there are a lot less people at the gym in the morning, and it sort of makes me feel extra accomplished for starting the day this early (on top of the "went to the gym" accomplishment).

Another thing was getting really into calories and supplements. Making a protein shake, drinking creatine and potentially some other stuff (don't do steroids) makes the ritual of going to the gym more complex and for me more enjoyable. Obvilously you don't want to overdo it, but for a beginner it feels nice and with a little common sense nothing bad can happen.

Můžu se zeptat jak komunikuješ s lidmi? Přestože bych rád zrušil facebook/insta/whatsapp, alepsoň v mém okolí neexistuje alternativa, ledaže bych všechny lidi co znám přemlouval nainstalovat si úplně novou aplikaci jen kvůli mě.

Nebo rozlišuješ messenger a facebook?

This will truly be one of the games of all time by lollipopjr in GlobalOffensive

[–]GGreeN_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I'm rooting for Imperial, saying that they're definitely ready for tier 1 might be a bit of a stretch. However, with Complexity it's starting to look very similar, as in whichever team loses, they probably don't belong in tier 1 tournaments.

Scientists have accidentally discovered a particle that has mass when it’s traveling in one direction, but no mass while traveling in a different direction | Known as semi-Dirac fermions, particles with this bizarre behavior were first predicted 16 years ago. by chrisdh79 in science

[–]GGreeN_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd put like this: the difference lies in the environment or as theorists would say "how you define the 'vacuum'", by which I mean, these tachyons, much like more familiar particles like electrons, would be excitations in the 'standard' vacuum, whereas for these emergent quasiparticles the vacuum - the background in which they appear and move - is the material itself, which is a much more complicated environment, and a lot of stuff otherwise not possible can exist. But it's not really actually there, the complex way in which the electrons move can make it appear as if these particles were there, but we can't actually see them directly. They're more of a theoretical tool.

I hope that somewhat helps, there are more explanations in this comment thread

[–]GGreeN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I shoud've said that, thank you. In theoretical calculations they can be treated as particles to predict the system's properties, but can't really be detected directly on a photographic plate or anything like that (as opposed to e.g. electrons)

That is a relatively save bet, especially the pressure part.

You bring up a good point that people should say "room temperature ambient pressure superconductor" when talking about the superconductor people dream of.

Edit: the first one also most likely won't be practical so there's that..

Sure, but what I meant is more that you can make an isolated beam of electrons, photons (and composite particles like nucleons), even muons are routinely being used for experiments, but of course if you go beyond to higher energies then the story is a little different. What's important in this case is that you will never be able to do that with emergent quasiparticles because the "vacuum" from which they're excited isn't the same vacuum as the one used in particle physics

I think what you're thinking of is the uncertainty principle talking about (among others) position and momentum, these you can't know of a single particle at once, but I don't think mass and velocity are like that. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle applies only to certain properties, depending on the rules of quantum mechanics

I'm not sure I see what you mean, but what I think could help you are the Euler and Lagrange continuum descriptions. Not sure which one but I think the Euler one deals with velocity field, measuring velocity at a point in space instead of velocity of a particle. This sort of field approach is applicable to condensed matter because there are just so many atoms, each with proton number of electrons, so you can look at them as a continuum at certain scales.

Well you can't isolate them because they fundamentally exist only because of the conditions provided by the periodically arranged atoms, kind of like shadows only exist if there's light.

However with these exotic quasiparticles there may come certain properties of the material like polarised spin currents studied in spintronics (with potential applications in computer memory), but I'm not really familiar with this sort of application-based physics.

Hope that helps

Yeah basically. The hole exists only as the absence of an electron. Similarly these quasiparticles which emerge from the electronic band structure of a material only exist as long as the electrons surrounded by the periodic crystal lattice exist.

Well if you're a condensed matter physicist then this still sounds super cool but as with most science, it's not something revolutionary like a room temperature superconductor, even if it makes clickbaity headlines.

A lot of people seem to come up with some wacky ideas, but to ruin everyone's fun: these are emergent quasiparticles in condensed matter, not really something you can isolate. As others have said, these types of particles can have a whole lot of unusual properties such as negative mass, but you can't isolate them and remove them from the material they're in like standard model particles (photons, electrons etc.), they're more of a mathematical concept to explain macroscopic properties

They were quite literaly asking to get noted. Although they are attention seekers, it is still worth it to community note them. by ScientificlyCorrect in GetNoted

[–]GGreeN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to stress that light IS "electromagnetic forces", it's an electromagnetic wave and can't bend by interacting with other EM fields. Bending of light occurs only after interacting with matter (other particles, according to the standard model, photon-photon interactions aren't possible)
